qseq to fastq - post conversion quality trimming
Hiya!
I have a bunch of old RNAseq data sets that I want to re-analyse using our current pipeline. First challenge was that the data is old enough to have been archived in qseq format, not fastq. I converted all files using a neat little java tool found here:
Described here: http://www.biostars.org/p/6682/
Has worked well and is pretty fast. My resulting fastq files, however, contain every single read - including the one with low quality and those that have a failed p/f flag. Therefore I want to some quality trimming before I move on to analysis.
Does anyone have any tool recommendations? And, more importantly, a rational way of filtering? What would be a good quality cutoff to use? If I am not mistaken the quality scores spit out by the java tool are phred64.
Cheers!

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
